Jack Horton weaves heartfelt memories into new hit, “String Around My Finger”
Country singer-songwriter Jack Horton graced listeners with a brand new single, “String Around My Finger,” which is the follow-up to his latest fan-favorite track, “Back In His Heyday.” StorySince the first time Jack heard “Troubador” by George Strait when learning guitar, he honed his craft, believing he was born to entertain the widest audience. “String Around My Finger” is taken from Jack’s EP Imperfections, which drops soon. This song will resonate if you have ever felt torn between chasing your dreams and hanging on to the people you love.
Right from the first catchy note, “String Around My Finger” reels you in with its country-pop sound, which mixes an upbeat melody with heart-on-its-sleeve lyrics. Horton’s voice is as slick as ever, reveling in the excitement and nostalgia that pair the small-town songwriter on the verge of stardom with a sense of already having made the storybook journey.
One of its best lines, which perfectly captures “String Around My Finger” vibe, is, “I’m playin’ covers at ol’ Joe’s every Wednesday night, some Elton John, Johnny Cash and a little John Prine / and after closin’ time you say you wanna hear a couple of mine.” By name-dropping iconoclasts like Elton John, Johnny Cash, and John Prine, Horton artfully salutes this breaking of new ground by pioneers while giving his story context. It’s obvious that, for Horton, songwriting is not just a job but a passion built on his love for music and the individuals who have influenced it.
“String Around My Finger” is more than a love song; it’s poignantly an ode to songwriting as an art. The lyrics remind us that music has the power to capture times, emotions, and memories that never truly leave us, no matter how distant we become. It’s the type of song you can also play on repeat, inspiring a wistful joy in your heart. If you’re a fan of country-pop with an insatiable thirst for real stories, “String Around My Finger” by Jack Horton is precisely what you’re dying to hear right now. It’s fun, catchy, and, most importantly, real, like the quirks that shape our identity.
